A couple of Crested Pigeons taken at various places around Brisbane.
They build the scrappiest nests that you can imagine.
Aka locally as Topknot Pigeons, but they are a different species that we don't see in the suburbs.

Crested Pigeon on it's nest in our garden last year.
Unfortunately something - we suspect a possum - took the chicks one night before they were old enough to fly away.
